This exciting full-day workshop, presented by Planned Parenthood Southwest OhioRegion, will provide you with the tools you need to minimize bullying and its impact for the youth in your community.  It will be led by Melissa Meyer, a highly skilled and respected educator and trainer.  She has facilitated professional workshops on a variety of topics, including bullying prevention, with a focus on youth, health and culture.  Melissa currently serves as the Vice President of the Ohio Board of Nursing.
